No automaker in history has done more to further the rotary-engine design of Felix Wankel than Mazda. Originally used by Mazda in the 1967 Mazda Cosmo, the rotary engine has powered numerous Mazda cars over the years, including the RX-2, RX-3, RX-7 and RX-8. Mazda even sold a rotary-powered pickup truck between 1974 and 1977. The company praised...

You already know the 2013 Lexus GS is going to be unveiled at Pebble Beach--you even already know what it looks like, more or less. But did you know that Lexus wants you to submit your photo to them on the chance that it could be broadcast around to world during the official unveiling? It's true. Lexus wants your photo. If you're inclined to try...
Italian coachbuilder Fornasari is no stranger to MotorAuthority, but its new RR99 luxury crossover has certainly got us wondering. Wondering what must have been going through the minds of its designers, and wondering who on earth would want to buy it. First revealed at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show back in March, the Fornasari RR99 is described as a...
Apart from Lexus, Japanese automotive luxury brands still pale in comparison to their German rivals in terms of the number of models they produce and the prices they can command. Overall image in the marketplace and status on the street have likewise proven difficult to develop. That's why Acura is making a hard push specifically to boost its...
In the land of Porsche 911s, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMGs, and the Gumpert Apollo, Manfred Sattler, the owner of Vulkan Racing-Mintgen Motorsport, decided to spend his hard earned on a brand new 2012 Lexus LFA. In fact, Sattler’s LFA is the first to be delivered to a customer in Germany, and it has one very special owner. As mentioned, Sattler is...
MINI has just launched a dedicated section on its main website for its new 2012 MINI Cooper Coupe (and the performance S and John Cooper Works variants), with a number of interesting features to keep potential customers and the curious interested in the car. First and foremost is a new configurator function that allows you to deck out the Cooper...
Custom supercars built around the C6 Chevrolet Corvette chassis are nothing new. In fact, it seems like one pops up nearly every month or so, the most famous being the Bertone Mantide and the Anteros range of coupes and convertibles. However, it’s not every day that a custom Corvette-based supercar pops up in the heart of Germany...
Nissan’s upmarket division Infiniti is about to embark on an aggressive new model rollout plan that will see the introduction of three brand new models over the next three to four years, starting with the 2013 Infiniti JX crossover next spring. The aim is to boost market share, not only here in the U.S., but also in Europe and emerging...
The Lamborghini Gallardo is approaching the end of its model run, with reports of its successor, the rumored “Cabrera”, currently doing the rounds. However, Lamborghini was never going to let its bread winner go out without a bang. So, as a last hurrah, the automaker is planning to unveil a limited edition model at next month’s...
Honda of San Marcos, a dealership in Texas, has apparently decided to deny the winning bid of $55,100 for a used 2009 Nissan GT-R purchased by an Anchorage, Alaska buyer. Instead, the buyer says the dealership wants him to pay $59,000 for the car--despite the fact that he already won a no-reserve auction at eBay Motors. As My350Z forum member...
Auctions to benefit charities are common among the high-end car-loving crowd, and RM Auctions' Monterey event will host a pair of unique Ford concepts to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation: the 2001 Thunderbird Sports Roadster Concept and the 2005 Shelby GR-1 Concept Platform Model. The Thunderbird Concept, of course, came to life...
Remember that incredible video of the fire-spitting twin-turbo Underground Racing Gallardo we showed you a few weeks back? Well the videographer and owner, Robert Himler, has gifted us another brilliant video, this time of his (rather attractive) mom screaming as he mats the gas pedal. She protests that she has sweaty palms, and after the...
Finding a 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 is pretty hard, and the car doesn't come cheap. Well, bargain hunters out there might be happy to see a $20,000 Boss 302 on eBay. Of course, there's a catch. You see, this Boss has been through a wreck. According to the seller, the car was run off the road by a drunk driver, but despite the damage, the car is...
While we haven't quite worked out the flowchart for how Catwoman, played by Anne Hathaway in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises movie, ends up wearing some futuristic HUD-type glasses on the back of the Batpod, we're not arguing. Of course, we're not exactly Batman historians. Maybe it makes perfect sense. All we know is we like the image--and the...
